Great video as always! I think one that should of made the list of honourable mentions is the upcoming Caddilac Celestiq, i mean it looks straight outta cyberpunk 2077!
What about my car, the Citroen XM? I own a dark metallic green Turbo CT. It’s actually a series 2 but I insisted on adding the asymmetrical grille and single spoke steering wheel of the series 1. To make it extra retrofuturistic I also gave it the ultra aerodynamic flat wheelcaps of the (actually cheaper!) Seduction version. Can’t get much more 80ties retrofuturistic but actually available at the time then that, baby! Suggestion: Why not make a video about Bertone, who also styled the XM. To me their almost architectural house style was the ultimate in futurism at the time. I see it resurfacing quite a bit in recent designs, as for instance the Hyundai Ionic 5 or he Fiat Grande Panda electric. Keep up the good work. 👍
An car with knobs and manual gear switching with NO electronic/computer but made with CAD. Make it repearable, not electronic heavy, no monitoring and remote switch of, emp-resistant, not to much plastic.
I believe that cars have no big future in big cities. Bicycles and a very good public transport network make a city more liveable. Look at some car dependable US cities like L.A. or Houston, it's a traffic mess. You always need more and more lanes to keep up. Also in New York (or New Amsterdam) there are too many cars. While (Old) Amsterdam is more and more a future city where you really don't need a car to get around. It is easier by bicycle and public transport system. It's a city made for people, not cars. ;-)
Oh but central planning has been wrong about most things recently, for most of my life they’ve been pushing solar and wind energy but what’s actually taking the place of coal? Nuclear Power that’s what, we’re on the verge of the second great atomic age and if we can mange the change without starting a useless war then a future of freedom, prosperity, and high tech cars will be achievable for all.
@@bloxyman22 In an unflat country like Switzerland many residents have E-Bikes instead of regular bikes. Still, people don't cycle much in winter because the bycicle network in a Swiss city like Zürich is underdevelopped (= dangerous!) compared to Amsterdam; and not because of the hills. But the public transport network in Zürich is probably in the Top10 worldwide, so you really really don't need to use a car (or bike) to get anywhere in the city. I know it because I live there and I never had a car in my life. And about mild winters (and snow) .... check the video "Why Canadians Can't Bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can)" by NotJustBikes. enjoy ;-)
@@bloxyman22 Agreed, it’s also easier to use bicycles in a country that measures about 25,813.62 square miles than a significantly larger country that spans 3,796,742 square miles in total area, as people flee the cities for more space and less interference they will significantly increase their reliance upon motor vehicles, it’s just logical.

This is great, thanks.
The futuristic car that makes my mouth salivate most is the Giugaro Italdesign Aspid car from 1988. ❤

Great video. Please keep it up.
I would have added Canoo to the list.

This works great in a country that is flat and have mild winters.

I would think the Audi A2 and the first Series Audi TT look more futuristic than most of these and they are 25 years old now.
I would have to disagree
